Hollywood Hunter

Melbourne.

These days, Anthony Johnston has deliberately laid down his work to assist Simon in dealing with the operation of the Japanese financial market.

In more than two weeks, North America has successfully completed the cash out of the technology stock market, and the Australian local funds have also been received one after another. The final fund size reached 1.57 billion US dollars.Among them, Simon’s own capital amount is 500 million US dollars, the Johnston family contributed 100 million US dollars, and other Australian capital forces total 970 million US dollars.

Speaking of this, there are also many people in North America who want to invest recently, but Simon chose to refuse this time.

With more than $1.5 billion in funding, it is already a big goal to lead Australian capital into the market. Simon believes that the Johnston family will surely be able to transform this relationship into real contacts and interests.

In North America, Simon has the identity of an American, but he has very few connections with local forces, and it is impossible to build a profound friendship by taking the other side to make a fortune.

In fact, Simon has unknowingly created the idea of ​​the Australian gang as his backing.Of course, the Australian gang here is definitely not an Australian filmmaker in Hollywood, but the capital of Australia.

The pattern of tycoon power in the United States has been shaped for many years. Simon, a capital upstart, can't compete with the old tycoon, and he has no idea of ​​which side to rely on.

Therefore, to ensure that the industry under his name can continue to expand, Simon must have more chips.

The confrontation between capital and chips is ultimately capital.

Australia’s current economy is still very small, but it is a country after all.

Simon has brought together Australian capital forces through interest associations. The tyrannical powers formed are no less than any old consortium in the United States. Moreover, as long as they operate properly, Simon can even gain the dominance of Australian capital forces.

Now that he wants to formalize operations, Simon has officially registered a hedge fund in the Cayman Islands.

Compared with onshore funds that need to pay taxes on time every year, the biggest advantage of offshore hedge funds is that as long as the funds are not transferred back to the country, there is no need to pay high capital gains taxes. Fund holders can repeatedly use what should be tax Funds for capital operation.

Although it is not intended to operate for a long time, the fund always needs a name.

Simon once again released "Game of Thrones", and named the hedge fund Cersei-Capital, code-named "Bad Woman".And, like Daenerys Entertainment and Melisandre, Cersei Capital also uses Westeros as its controlling parent company.

The total capital of 1.57 billion US dollars must not be concentrated in one fund. Simon established five sub-funds controlled by Cersei Capital. The capital of each sub-fund is about 300 million US dollars.

Affected by the "Wall Street Journal" article at the beginning of the month, Simon's own statement and other hot events, the Japanese financial market was very active in February, and Simon quickly completed the initial layout after receiving the funds.

As of the last trading day of the week on February 17, the five sub-funds controlled by Cersei Capital have established long-term contracts of Nikkei 225 Index futures with a total value of approximately US$7 billion in Singapore and Osaka.

Simon is well aware of his advantages. What he can judge more accurately is only the macro trend of the Japanese economy.

The average positions of these stock index futures contracts are between 32,200 and 32,700.

If Cersei Capital can maintain a long position of around US$7 billion in the coming months, until the Nikkei 225 index reaches 37,000 points in Simon’s planned exit, only this investment will bring in US$1 billion in profit.

Long contracts with a total value of US$7 billion only used less than half of Cersei’s capital in margins. The volume of Nikkei 225 Index futures was eventually limited, although the two major exchanges in Singapore and Osaka still did not set up strict Position limit,

With the remaining funds, Simon began to let the trading team of the five sub-funds operate freely.Japan’s stocks, government bond futures, stock index options and even other major capital markets in Asia, which are also in full swing, are the hunting targets of Cersei Capital.

Just this week, Cersei Capital’s trading team successfully completed a beautiful Japanese government bond futures operation.

As a series of news in early February stimulated the Japanese stock market to rise rapidly, various circles have speculated that the Bank of Japan will have to introduce a rate hike policy as soon as possible to curb excessive speculation in the market.

Under normal circumstances, the result of interest rate hikes will often lead to a decline in government bond prices. Hedge funds can obtain generous returns if they wait for opportunities to short.

Simon remembered, however, that the Bank of Japan didn't belatedly announce the first rate hike in several years until May.At that time, the Japanese stock and property markets had long missed the best time to prevent market collapse through austerity policies.

Even if history has changed, Simon does not think the Japanese government will announce a rate hike three months in advance.

Only speculative news caused market turmoil, and the Japanese classes, who have been immersed in the illusion of Japan's economic prosperity, do not want to break this situation under the circumstance of last resort.

With this judgment, Cersei Capital’s trading team has established positions in Japanese government bond futures worth a total of US$6 billion since last week, half of which are long and half are short.

The margin ratio of government bonds only needs 3%, which is about 33 times the leverage.

As news of the Bank of Japan’s upcoming rate hike further spread, Japanese government bond futures fell at the beginning of the week, and the trading team also closed short positions in time before Wednesday.

Then, on Thursday morning, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Finance of Japan publicly clarified that the Bank of Japan did not intend to issue a rate hike plan recently.

Japanese government bond futures rose in response.

Simon did not greedy much, and asked the sub-fund trading team to close all long positions before Friday.

The volatility of government bond futures is usually small, which is why investment leverage can exceed 30 times.However, this week, Cersei Capital still made $36 million.

Speaking of this, this operation actually used some inside information, otherwise Cersei Capital could not accurately close its short position before Thursday.

Japan’s rapid economic rise in recent years, especially the development of the real estate industry, has driven its demand for various types of mining resources to increase substantially. Australia happens to be a country rich in mining resources.

Therefore, the economic ties between Japan and Australia are very close in recent years, as is the political and business circles. The Johnston family has a large subsidiary in Japan, managed by Janet’s second brother Norman Johnston.

The Ministry of Finance of Japan will release clarified news on Thursday that Norman Johnston, who is currently on a business trip in Tokyo, passed back.

Simon didn't feel guilty about it or worry about being discovered.

Many well-known hedge funds in memory have invited a large number of politicians to join the company's board of directors. For example, Mrs Thatcher, who is still in office, joined the famous tiger fund in the 1990s.

Probably no one would be naive to think that these hedge funds invited politicians to join in order to consult their investment advice.

On the other hand, affected by rumors of interest rate hikes, the Japanese stock market was also in turmoil this week, and fell 236 points on the opening day of Monday.

As of the close of February 17, the Nikkei 225 index was only a slight increase of 76 points to 38,897 points compared to 38,821 points when it closed last Friday.Compared with the generous gains made through the operation of Japanese government bond futures, Cersei Capital’s stock index futures bulls have a book profit of only 13.71 million US dollars this week.

Saturday, February 18.

Because most of the "Batman" story happened in the evening, yesterday was still a night shot.

This situation will probably continue until mid-March, and the last few weeks are studio shots, and Simon will not need to be reversed day and night.

Melbourne does not have a professional studio like the major Los Angeles studios. The crew team has been using a large factory to build a film-related scene such as'Bat Cave' in an abandoned factory in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

Although it was a weekend, during this time an additional three hours of work was added every day to take care of Cersei Capital, but the habit has been developed, and Simon still wakes up on time only after sleeping for five hours.

Breakfast is with Anthony Johnston.

Out of caution, the dining place is not at the Kendal Hotel restaurant, but a nearby cafe that serves breakfast.

Simon does not expect the operation of Cersei Capital to be completely confidential. He only hopes to keep the news within a certain range as much as possible.However, because Simon's record in 1987 was too glorious, the people who stared at him this time were also pervasive.

Temporarily letting go of other things Anthony Johnston, who is working with Simon to run Cersei Capital, is one of the main tasks is to help improve confidentiality measures. The team also hired a retired official from the Australian National Security Department as a consultant.

The phone numbers of Simon’s Hotel Suites have now been converted into encrypted lines, and daily meetings with various sub-fund managers and analyst teams to discuss investment strategies are also not in the hotel, but the securely secured headquarters building of Johnston Holdings Group in Melbourne city centre.

Even, in order to avoid leaking Cersei Capital's various investment holdings, the five sub-fund teams do not know each other well.

Anthony also privately told Simon that he privately arranged for people to monitor the various teams, and would remove them as soon as they found out that an inner ghost appeared.

Involving more than one billion US dollars in fund operations and a considerable scale of expected returns. This kind of rigorous prudence is not too much. Simon is very satisfied with Anthony’s arrangement. At least, regular anti-eavesdropping detection can let him Don't worry about bugs in your room again.

Simon felt his scalp numb every time he thought about the Manhattan Plaza Hotel.

There were not many people in the cafe on the weekend morning. Simon and Anthony sat in the corner by the window. Two bodyguards sat nearby to block outsiders from approaching.

Casually chatting a few words, Anthony mentioned Cersei Capital's "meager" gains in the stock index futures market last week. He felt that Simon was a little too conservative.

Simon took a sip of juice and put down the glass to explain: "Tony, you must have seen my operation on the S&P 500 index futures. Like last time, I bet on a macro trend as long as the Japanese stock market continues to rise Going forward, our position on the Nikkei 225 index futures will be able to obtain very stable and generous returns. As for the bond futures and other aspects, these variables are too large, we earned last week, but we may lose all of them next week. In my opinion, many excellent hedge funds are driven by this impulse to reduce their profitability."

Anthony Johnston has learned his goal from Simon.

Compared with the one in 1987, Simon’s goal for this operation can be said to be very low. He only expects that before the Japanese market turns, Cersei Capital’s funds can be doubled.After chasing up, Simon will be satisfied with making some profits in the process of killing and dropping to pay taxes and commissions to trade the team.

If the Japanese stock market can continue to follow the same direction as the original time and space, Simon completed the operation here, just can turn his attention to the crude oil futures market.

Of course, Simon also knows that because of the influence of his big butterfly, it is no longer realistic to have such expectations.However, he still firmly locked the peak of the Japanese market at around 38,000 points and planned to withdraw from 37,000 points.

Perhaps this time it will crash early, or it may unexpectedly break through 40,000 points.

but.

In any case, Simon will restrain his fear of an early crash and his greed for the market to be even higher, and insist on locking in his goals.

Similarly, because he understands his true strength, Simon will not adopt a too risky investment strategy. He has planned to invest as much surplus funds in the Japanese stock market as possible.

Compared with the ever-changing financial derivatives market, the risk of directly speculating on stocks is very low.At least half a year of the bull market cycle is also enough to ensure that Cersei Capital gets a very rich report.

Anthony Johnston has actually been warned by his father that he should never interfere with Simon’s decision wisely. He only needs to ensure that Simon can complete this operation without hesitation.

Listening to Simon's explanation, Anthony stopped at the right time and smiled: "Okay, Simon. Your birthday is coming, you have to celebrate it. Do you plan to arrange it yourself, or will I come? Oh, Jenny these two days It's probably coming."

Simon is also polite, saying: "Tony, then trouble you, I will give the crew a day off next Wednesday, and you will decide the guest list."

Anthony nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I will be in the big house on the outskirts. I will start preparing for the party tomorrow.

The two chatted like this, and after breakfast, Simon returned to the hotel.

Jennifer prepared a stack of documents that Simon needed to review as usual.

Leaning on a leather chair, Simon was really surprised to see Nancy Brill's plan about the BesTV data analysis team and the movie data database.He did not expect that this woman had so presciently put forward the concept of'big data' before the Internet age.

The movie database, if added, is obviously IMDB (-Movie-Database).Amazon acquired IMDB for online sales of DVDs and videotapes, and Netflix used the concept of big data to establish its dominant position in streaming media.

Now, a small woman put forward both concepts at once.
